Minorities Now Form Majority in One-Third of Most-Populous Counties - New York Times

As a white male, I am now a down trodden minority.

White History Month? The United Caucasian College Fund? White Entertainment Channel?

LOL, if you knew how many times I've seen the word black and wondered how politically incorrect it would sound if you substituted it for white. I saw someone's little pickup truck the other day with all kinds of things all over it letting the world know what Indian tribe their heritage was from and how proud they were of it. I just don't understand why I would want to be proud of anything other than my own achievements. I thought we all had to be born something. Just seems to me that promoting one race on anything is discriminating against other races at the same time.

I heard some political thing in the news months ago and some black woman was speaking about what it meant to the black community. I just want to hear someone try to say the exact same thing about the "white community" and have nobody raise an eyebrow! At what point in your life do you wake up one day and decide that you're a spokesperson for your race?

Guess what kids, white male have never been a Majority.... 52% is female, and even then, with all the other races, white males have only been about 30% at most...

I'm a Swede-American... yeah right???? whatever that is.... maybe 5%?

grew up in So-Cal... so I've always been a minority

I'm German-American, not white.

Since my Mother's Full blooded Italian, does that make me a Minority? I always wondered how many white americans have legally changed their names to a minority last name to see how to get in on all the Government goodies!

Never worked for me, and I've been burdened with this last name since day one. Wouldn't change it for the world, though.

Sean I have 2 nieces that went to College in Alabama(Auburn) free because they were 1/4 Italian. True story...
